Mitsubishi's new generation Delica D:6 release date revealed! Domestic registration of new car names ready for import

The Delica D:5, which plays an important role as Mitsubishi's MPV, Japanese media pointed out that it is preparing for a major facelift. It is expected to be launched in 2028. It is expected to be named Delica D:6 and adopt Mitsubishi's signature PHEV. The plug-in gasoline-electric system and the introduction of richer driving assistance systems will expand the internal space and improve the body rigidity through the new generation platform. In Taiwan, China Automobile has applied to register two new car names in the country, "Delion" and "Deligo", which is expected to prepare for the new generation of Delica.

According to Japanese media reports, the key to the new generation Delica D:6’s power system changes is to abandon the original diesel system and switch to a 2.4-liter PHEV plug-in hybrid system, which has excellent performance and pure electric range. At the same time, more complete driving assistance systems, including the "MI-PILOT" system, have been introduced to improve the safety of long-distance driving.

By then, the body size of the new Delica is expected to reach 4,800x1,815x1,875mm, with a wheelbase of 2,850mm. As it gains a larger body, the interior space will be more spacious, and its competitors will leap into the Toyota Alphard and Nissan Elgrand levels. At the same time, the car is expected to introduce a full digital instrument, support a variety of driving information displays, and add a 12.3-inch central control screen.

The new generation Delica will refer to the design of the D:X Concept concept car. The overall body shape is still the square MPV outline, but the front is taller, and in-line headlights are introduced, embellished with horizontal line daytime running lights, creating a more layered vision. The front is almost a closed design, with only a honeycomb-shaped air intake grille below.

In the Taiwan market, China Mitsubishi previously announced a "five cars in three years" product plan, which includes the new-generation Delica (Delica D:6). It has recently applied for registration of two new car names in China, "Delion" and "Deligo", and the names are quite close to Delica. This may mean that the new-generation Delica is expected to start anew with a new car name.
